Recently I had the pleasure of speaking with Steve Grimmett of Grim Reaper, we talked about the new sauce, the creation of the current band line up, what to expect from a Grim Reaper show and more! Have a listen below and make sure to check them out on tour! Questions for Steve grimmett were written and arranged by Curt Byrd, interview given by yours truly.

“Steve Grimmett’s Grim Reaper commanded the stage for 75 minutes plus, throwing out a solid set of metal anthems old and new,” said Dead Rhetoric’s Matt Coe. “We all departed dripping in sweat, clapping our hands, and thankful that a little piece of metal history came back to life again tonight.”

Walking In The Shadows, is the first new recording from the New Wave Of British Heavy Metal band since 1987’s Rock You To Hell. “I simply couldn’t be happier with this album or recommend it high enough, noted XS Rock on review of the album now available in stores. “Steve Grimmett’s pipes sound ageless,” states Loudwire while Explicitly Intense simply adds, “it is one hell of a comeback.”

Grimmett with guitarist Ian Nash (Steve Stine will replace Nash beginning November 7), bassist Chaz Grimaldi, and drummer Paul White, has already completed nearly four weeks on the planned six week North American tour, including stops in Las Vegas, San Diego, Los Angeles, Phoenix, Baltimore, New York, with additional performances in Toronto and Montreal. In Los Angeles, the band treated fans with the addition of original guitarist Nick Bowcott. Bowcott said of the performance, “this will be the third time in two years I’ve done this and it’s gonna be a blast… especially as we’ll be doing a couple of songs the original band never performed live. I’m far beyond psyched.”

GRIM REAPER‘s story begins in 1979 after successfully fighting off hundreds of bands in a local Battle Of The Bands competition. This win, combined with an already sizeable following, aroused the interest of Ebony Records. Signing with the small UK label, GRIM REAPER released three albums in rapid succession to international acclaim. Due to legal turmoil with Ebony, GRIM REAPER would disband in 1988. Grimmett would go on to record with Onslaught, Lionsheart, and more recently The Sanity Days debut Evil Beyond Belief. His renowed vocal range remains one of metal’s most identifiable with loyal fans turning out in numbers to hear him perform.

Since reforming in 2006, Steve Grimmett’s GRIM REAPER has made several European festival appearances including Germany’s Keep It True, England’s British Steel, Belgium’s Heavy Sound, and Sweden’s Muskelrock.

While I have always been a fan of progressive metal, The Contortionist is band with whom I have connected like no other. Upon first listen, the intricate melodies buried in the heft and blare of the thickly churning Intrinisc left me breathless, [...]

Humanz is the eclectic examination of a world gone mad that we so desperately need, and it couldn’t have come sooner. A masterful homage to soul and hip-hop with a characteristic glossy coating of dystopian mores, it comes across as a series of pet [...]
